Strikes by 130,000 Affecting Millions
University Daily Kansan
By United Press International
More than 130,000 workers were idled across the land today by transit, waterfront, newspaper and other strikes affecting millions of persons.
AN ADMINISTRATION official hinted at possible White House intervention in the waterfront strike that paralyzed shipping from Maine to Texas.
The 5,600 members of the Transport Workers Union, AFL-CIO, walked out yesterday against the Philadelphia Transportation Co. over management's insistence on eliminating a "no-layoff" clause which permits dismissal only for incompetence.
A million Philadelphia commuters had to find other means of transportation. In Kansas City, 100,000 bus riders faced a possible strike.
The strikers operate and maintain bus, trolley and subway-elevated lines. A fact-finding committee of three federal circuit judges bowed out of the dispute and said they believed they could serve "no useful purpose."
Leaders of the TWU were to meet today in Kansas City to decide whether to call a strike. Gov. John Dalton seized the transit company when workers went on strike 14 months ago, but the Missouri Supreme Court freed the firm yesterday.
HUNDREDS OF thousands of persons still were without a local newspaper to read, in New York, after 40 days, and in Cleveland, after 47 days.
THE UNION HAS rejected a company offer of a 15-cent an hour wage increase.
In New York, Asst. Secretary of Labor James Reynolds told negotiators for the striking International Longshoremen's Association and the New York Shipping Association that he will ask President Kennedy to take action unless there is "substantial progress" in negotiations today.
Cleveland Mayor Ralph Locher said "significant" results came from talks between the newspaper guild and the publishers of the morning Plain Dealer and afternoon Press. Progress also was reported in talks yesterday involving the Teamsters, who went on strike Nov. 29, one day before the guild.
The longshoremen walked out 25 days ago when an 80-day Taft-Hartley "cooling off" period ended. Most of the 100,600 out of work are long-shoremen, but others are truckers and seamen who refuse to cross picket lines. Shippers estimate the strike already has cost $600 million.
In New Orleans, the New Orleans Steamship Association filed charges against six ILA locals, aceusing them of refusing to bargain in good faith. A local president denied the charge.
Eight newspapers have shut down and a ninth has suspended publication in New York City. Bertram A. Powers, head of striking International Typographical Union Local 6, led a picketing demonstration by strikers and sympathizers outside New York Times offices.
Members of nine unions made plans to start publishing a newspaper five times weekly starting Monday. The unions estimated a press run of at least 120,000 the first day.
CITY OFFICIALS said an extended strike would mean economic disaster.
Kennedys Can't Win Them All
Some 800 names were submitted to school representatives for a New Hamshire county regional high school here.
— The Kennedys lost a popularity contest in Massachusetts.
One of the suggestions was Jack Kennedy Regional High.
But the name chosen for this staunchly Republican area's new school was Hampshire Regional High School.

Belgian Sculptor Joins KU Faculty
A Belgian sculptor will join the KU school of fine arts faculty next semester.
Victor Temmerman, now professor of sculpture at the Institute of Arts and Architecture in Brussels, will replace Eldon Tefft, associate professor of design, who is leaving in February for Mexico to study bronze casting.
Temmerman's most recent work, "L'Arta Forest," won first prize in a 1961 Belgian competition. He was awarded the Provincial Prize of Sculpture, a bronze medal, in 1951, and won first prizes at European exhibits in 1959 and 1960. He also won honorable distinction for sculpturing in Belgium in 1954, 1958, and 1960.

Whooping Crane's Survival in Doubt
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Interior Department yesterday set the size of the last known flock of wild whooping cranes at 32, a reduction of six from the flock which flew to northern nesting grounds last spring.
The flock is at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas
Department officials had hoped more of the big, rare birds would show up long after the normal fall migration period which ended in mid-December. Repeated aerial surveys, however, could account for only 32 cranes.
